I wanted to ask your advice regarding the use of a MAX127 IC in my
program.
I'm currently using a PIC16C76 and a MAX127 using I2C interface.

All i'm really doing with this program is reading in 8 pieces of analog
data, comparing it with threshold information, and then displaying the
data on an LCD and sending control bits based on the data.

I'm using a 4x20 LCD and have about five screens which display the
information differently.  The user cycles through screens using a
pushbutton.

My question is, what is the best way to add a MAX127 read into my
program.

I was thinking maybe have the whole routine triggered of an internal
timer interrupt.  So every X seconds, the program would be interrupted
and gather all
8 samples of analog data.

Is this what is typically done?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Dan
